I looked at her. She looked so innocent. I shrugged it off, and continued to talk to my dad on the phone.
The traffic is really bad out here, and you should probably stay inside, ‘cause you might get snowed out of the house.” My dad spoke over the crackling of the in-and-out phone reception.
“Ok, so you’ll be home soon?” I asked. “Oh, and I have someone over, ok?”
“Ok, no problem. Bye.”
“Bye.”
I hung up, and looked at Mel. She opened her mouth, probably to ask for the phone to call home.
” We are going to get snowed in,” I started. “You got a place to sleep?”
She seemed to gape at me, she finally spoke after a minute.
“Can I-” She began.
“Yes, you can crash here.” I said. “I’m gonna order some pizza, and you can call your parents while I get the movie. What kind do you like?”
“I don’t don’t know, do you have any comedy ones?”
“I have a ton of them.”
“Great.”
“So…I guess I’ll call the pizza place and get a movie, you have a certain one you like?”
“It’s ok, you can just chose one.”
I smiled at her
